They have a new pillbox that has an alarm that goes off when it's time to take the meds. My best friend has it and it goes off everytime we are on the phone. She hates it and actually went back to the other type but it might be something you guys might want to get.

Hubby with RSD. I know what you mean about worrying about your husband. When Bill was living, our daughter would do his meds in one of those month boxes but he still would forget to take them. I would ask him if he took them but at times I couldn't even remember to ask him if he took them. At the end it was getting really hard because he was having more trouble remembering to take them. We were trying to figure out how to make sure he took them around the time he passed away. He was on so damn many that I couldn't even keep up with all he was on. I felt guilty because I couldn't help him more then I did. We were both trying to take care of each other and it was hard.

I would say maybe check in on getting one of those pill boxes that has an alarm. My friend got hers through her social worker.

I'm only on a couple of meds and I forget to take them until my stomach is messed up and I'm in a lot of pain at times.

I think the memory loss actually comes from the RSD but some of the meds do add on to the problem.

I have tried to get my memory better but for some reason I just can't get there. I do now put a paper on the phone at night to remind me of calls I have to make the next day. I am constantly looking for things though that I have missed placed and it drives me nuts. I usually find what I was looking for a week ago when I start looking for something I'm looking for at the present time.

When I was at my worst I actually journaled for about 3 years. I filled up a journal and a half and now I can't even remember where I put the journal.

Thanks Artist for your good thoughts. I am having a hard time. It seems to get worse instead of better. It's like starting all over again and not knowing how to start.
